Sorry guys, the .001 of an inch that the brackets give in cornering doesn't bother me.

And if we MADE the bars, we might could do somethin bout it. Unfortunately, we don't, and as you may have noticed, Korea doesn't really care about the US Aftermarket.

I know it doesn't bother you, or the majority of people. The point wasn't there. I was just saying that the bracket of the ARK, as well as kspec, are weak. That you and/or kspec doesn't care is not relevant to the point.

ARK was frankly doomed from the start because of the way the site was so devoted to KSpec for a year... I'll admit the strut is a horrible design, but there exhaust is one of the best out for GKs, and everyone that I've heard that bought the ARK Single Titanium for the GK are happy with it. I'm sure RD owners would feel the same way. Having a moderator that sells for KSpec doesn't help much either.

it is expensive for a strut bar..if it could go over the AirRam, that would be nice but it's still a little pricey
80-100US$ for a good quality strut bar is not pricy. Less than that, you will end up with a nice looking bar, that's it. Like the Pilot strut bar....it goes for 39US$...not worth a penny more.

Ham, kspec has been around for longer than the majority of our aftermarket....Why??
#1 because they ship in the time frame posted on thier site.
#2 because they have MORE aftermarket parts for MORE hyundais than anyone else.
#3 because returns or lost merchandise are replaced PROMPTLY.
#4 because they DO care about the NA (n. America) aftermarket.
#5 because they can get stock parts SHIPPED to your door for chaeper than any dealership will give you. And quicker too.
The ONLY reason REDZ is part of KSpec now is becuase of HIS effort to convince David that #4 should be part of thier business plan. Also, REDZ only fairly recently became part of kspec.....for a long time after he got back from Korea he was little more than a good freind to David.
The reason ARK was "Doomed from the Start" is because of some red flags thrown up by a couple of very respected and active (be it show or otherwise) members, and also the lack of regard for the forums rules.
